Subject: [PATCH][v2 00/10] Make MIME work on desktops
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2020 22:28:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200117212908.32647-1-schnitzeltony@gmail.com> (raw)

On fresh images file-browsers do not know how to open files and usually open a
dialog with ALL applications available on the machine. This is not what users
are used to when working with linux: For just one application installed per
Mime-Type, the application is opened automatically.

To get a working MIME on desktop it needs two 'databases' on target:

1. Mime-Types: This is handled by mime.bbclass and creates database in
   /usr/share/mime/mime.cache.
2. Mime associations: A simple text-list of pairs Mime-Type <-> application
   in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

This patch series updates/implements/enhances both parts to get images work as
expected.

@Khem: This series creates many QA warnings for layers in meta-openembedded and
a patch series fixing many was prepared [1]. Once this series get's applied (or
you ask for it) I can send them out.

V1 -> V2:
* Shelve global path export thingy
* Add me as maintainer of itstool (let's consider 'ü' in my name as test case :)
* Change "to to" to "to" in commit message
* Build shared-mime-info from git to allow automated upgrades
* mime-xdg.bbclass: Be prepared for packages as libreoffice: Desktop files
  installed are absolut symlinks broken for us. In case other projects do same: 
  Offer asolution and guide recipe writers how to handle by generating warnings
  with instructions how to handle.

Andreas Müller (10):
  itstool: add from meta-oe
  itstool: extend to nativesdk
  shared-mime-info: upgrade 1.10 -> 1.15
  mime.bbclass: rework
  insane.bbclass: introduce a warning for mime missing in inherit
  shared-mime-info: add mime to inherit
  gcr: add mime to inherit
  mime-xdg.bbclass: initial add
  insane.bbclass: Spawn warning for missing mime-xdg in inherit
  gcr: add mime-xdg to inherit
